CurseBreaker

TUI/CLI addon updater for World of Warcraft.

DOWNLOAD

The latest release can be found here.
Please be aware that Linux (.gz) and macOS (.zip) versions are not thoroughly tested.

USAGE

Place CurseBreaker binary inside directory containing Wow.exe, WowClassic.exe or World of Warcraft.app.
Read the instructions on the top of the screen.

Already installed addons will not be recognized by CurseBreaker and they need to be reinstalled.
This process can be partially automated by using the import command.

Both Retail and Classic clients are supported. The client version is detected automatically.
By default CurseBreaker will create backups of entire WTF directory.

TIPS & TRICKS

• On Windows command uri_integration can be used to enable integration with the CurseForge page.
• Most of the commands support the space-separated list of addons.
• install command have optional -i flag that can be used to disable client version check.
• TUI will look a little better if the application is started by something else than the default Windows command prompt. Preview version of Windows Terminal is recommended.
• Environment variable CURSEBREAKER_PATH can be used to set the custom location of WoW client.
• When the application is started with a headless parameter entire addon and Wago upgrade process plus WTF backup should be executed in the background. Log file CurseBreaker.html will be created in the same directory as the application.

WEAKAURAS SUPPORT

CurseBreaker by default will try to update all detected WeakAuras and Plater profiles/scripts. Process work the same as WeakAuras Companion.
All updates will still need to be applied in-game in the WeakAuras/Plater option menu.
Command toggle wago can be used to set a single author name that will be ignored during the update.
Additionally Wago API key can be set with set wa_api command so non-public entries will also be upgradeable.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Using "double" WoWInterface projects (example) will always install a retail version of the addon. It can't be fixed as WoWInterface API doesn't support this type of project.
• WoWInterface projects that need to install files outside the Interface\AddOns directory are not supported.
